Hi guys,

A few months ago I was involved in a crash, my GTR Black Edition was written off due to a moron running a red light. Quite a bit of damage and airbags everywhere.

Kept it under wraps during the insurance process plus I was a bit angry.

I've finally sorted it all out with insurance and am now looking for a replacement vehicle.

This is a big inconvenience, but hey, series 7 updates anyone?

Cheers.

Yikes.

Thankfully you're ok!

Thankfully there was insurance!

Now thats out of the way; that sucks! Can understand you being angry about it.

Yep that's the main thing. Walked out with minor bruises.

Get this, the other driver:

Unlicensed (his L's had been cancelled).

No insurance.

Driving like an idiot running red lights.

The only legit thing he had was that the car was actually registered at the time (his mum's car).

Yeah that would make me angry. Really angry! So your insurance covered and will sue him I assume?

The bloke that almost killed me on my bike was unlicensed, unregistered and uninsured.

Cops didn't charge him for driving unlicensed because they couldn't confirm he had received the letter stating it. :angry:

Yep insurance are going after him.

It'll teach him a life lesson I reckon.

A complete and utter lack of self responsibility.

Yeah was hit at about 60km/h I think.

There was some debate for a while as to repair vs write off. High salvage value= write off. Thankfully.

Last thing you want is a near new car that's been repaired after a heavy impact.

Society these days.

unfortunate what happened.

but the people who do this stuff, majority of them have lost their license, have no insurance or car is stolen. it isnt exactly uncommon, probably been happening for a very long time.

best thing about a good insurance policy, they pay you, they take care of the rest.
it blows me away that people even drive at all without insurance. why would you ever want to handle the aftermath either being at fault or not.

i wouldnt put $50 of fuel in my car before paying for insurance.

ah well people are dickheads. luckely it wasnt worse, noones hurt, you get a shiney new car :)

Thats a fair sideways shunt , were you pushed into on coming traffic

not a very nice feeling at all .

Basically, I had a green arrow and was turning right, hence he hit me more towards the rear of the car.

There was no oncoming traffic at the time (was about 7pm in a suburban street), but I did end up on the wrong side of the road facing the other direction (180 degree turn).

In terms of insurance, as others have said, I can't believe people drive around without it. As the car is less than 2 years old, there is a new for new policy in place. I'm not sure how that works, but I imagine he'll have to pay off close to 200k.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
